NEWS RELEASE: Post-Recession Buyers Look at Housing Differently
JUNE 2018 MARKET UPDATE
BONITA /ESTERO: INCREASED PENDING SALES
those properties priced at $2 million and above experiencing a down-tick in pending and closed
units. “Homeowners in the market continue to realize that a price reposition is necessary if there is no activity and the property’s interior and exterior style is more than three years old,” stated Jerry Murphy, Managing Broker, Downing-Frye Realty, Bonita Springs. “Sales of new construction homes are also affecting the days on market figure.” Pending sales in the Bonita Springs and Estero markets increased by 15 percent comparing this April with last. During that same time period, active inventory decreased by 3 percent to 1,759 properties and the median closed sales price was $295,000, a decrease of 1 percent compared to the previous year. The average Days on Market was 96 days at the end of April 2018.
FLORIDA: AFFORDABLE LISTINGS SCARCE
USA: NEED MORE NEW HOMES
An increase in housing supply is crucial to the health and sustainability of the real estate market and the economy. If supply and demand continues to become more and more out of balance, it could trigger a fast price growth said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. Ken Simonson, chief economist for Associated General Contractors of America said, “Construction saw a 30 percent drop in employment in the previous decade, the largest drop of any industry. They also began laying people off a year before the recession began and did not start hiring again until much later than other industries.” This has led to difficulty in bringing skilled laborers back to the industry. Material costs have also gone up: diesel fuel cost has risen 42 percent since 2017, lumber and plywood cost increased by 11 percent, copper and brass mill shapes have risen 10 percent.
